Author of quotes: Jonathan Franzen. Page 3

Home it's important to somebody. It's not just a significant circumstance, but the only thing that matters.
Soul of the house - the family.
The waking man is like a light in the house.
The soul - like a gopher in a hole.
That of the brain consciousness, for a family at home.
To grasp the consciousness of the house, to delve into chores, into a harmonious hum of related lives in the fundamental warmth of the fire. Think of "presence", "busy", "hectic". Or, conversely, of "emptiness", "isolation". About "disagreement".

Too deep familiarity with any malware inside. From him will not get off.

Than you can get drunk, the fact you can drown in.

Sex - the disease, the totality of serious symptoms.

Old age - a hopeless nightmare.

Awful that people are so easily freaked out, stop paying attention to the conventions.

- Enough worry in vain, - with a sudden newfound wisdom told Enid, and then I see: it does not matter.

Man is what he wants.

The worst of the torture is eternal repetition.
